Coronavirus Hong Kong: lawmakers suggest using cruise ships for quarantine, drones to airlift in supplies amid surging fifth wave

Several Hong Kong lawmakers have suggested using empty cruise ships as makeshift quarantine facilities, while others have called on residents to “complain less” and “tolerate more” amid an ongoing surge in coronavirus cases that has overwhelmed the government’s response.

Other suggestions floated on Wednesday included allowing willing patients to be ferried across the border to mainland China for treatment, and establishing a “war room”-like headquarters for fighting the pandemic.
